The article focuses on the book "A Lifetime Burning in Every Moment: From the Journals of Alfred Kazin," by Alfred Kazin. The title of Kazin's new book, may give the hope that people are going to get closer to his life, to get to know him in a depth they haven't seen before. The book tells plenty of fascinating things, some of them pretty intimate, yet in the end this book contains more mysteries than revelations. None of these entries are dated, except within intervals of two to twenty-eight years, and none are framed in ways that might help them see where he is coming from. Some people will have fun guessing the dates from their contexts; this assumes they are in strict chronological order, but in fact Kazin offers no guarantees.
